«Alien. Una teoría sexual» is Xan Eguía's essay on gender, monsters and science fiction, published by Ediciones Ablú in paperback (144 pages).
Starting from «Alien», Xan Eguía argues that science fiction cinema considered masculine carries a strong sexual charge and conveys an unhealthy female image. He analyses characters such as Ripley, Sarah Connor, Lisbeth Salander and Hulka, turning the book into a self-critique and a tool for rethinking gender issues.
First edition published in Spain on 15 November 2016; language: Spanish; dimensions 21 x 14 cm.
Aimed at film enthusiasts and readers who want to examine how the feminine is represented on screen.
